It's important to check your credit report regularly. But it can be a confusing jumble of numbers and detail. Check out this interactive cheat sheet that makes it easy to understand.

Credit.com designed a mock credit report. It looks just like a real report, with a section on personal info, accounts, potentially negative items, etc. You hover over any item, and a callout explains exactly what that item means. We've discussed in detail what each section of your report means. But this tool sums it up visually.
